Description

Comedian Alex Joyce, who is a coproducer of the live show, and an all-around renaissance drinker, joins on the podcast. Alex tells the story of the time he and his brother invited hillbillies from the mountains of North Carolina to stay with them on the same weekend when hillbillies from the cliffs of Ireland also arrived, creating a hilarious vortex of hard-drinking, high-maintenance house guests. Alex also talks about how differently Chicago police react to everything versus the sheriffs from back these podunks. CJ, Sean and Alex then talk about how all drunks have two groups of friends that can never meet each other, otherwise the evening -- maybe even the universe -- collapses.

The Blackout Diaries is a comedy show where standup comedians, plus 'regular' people (cops, firefighters, teachers, etc) tell true drinking stories. The live show has run weekly in Chicago for over ten years and has been a critics' pick by all major Chicago periodicals. The podcast is hosted by Sean Bair-Flannery and CJ Sullivan, two standup comedians and friends who have been featured on Comedy Central, Sirius Radio, NPR and more. They have over 30 years of standup experience between them and about 800 missed flights.
